1 Transporting Hazardous Materials / Pesticides -1-

2 Federal Hazmat Law Protect against the risks to life, property, and the environment which are inherent in the transportation of hazardous materials in intrastate, interstate, and foreign commerce. 49 U.S.C. Section 5101 et seq. U.S. Senate Photo -2-

3 Hazardous Materials Regulations USDOT s HMR Govern the packaging and safe transportation of hazardous materials by air, highway, rail, and water (except bulk transportation onboard vessels). -3-

4 PHMSA Responsibilities Formulates, issues and revises, and enforces the HMR Issues special permits and approvals under the Federal Hazmat Law Enforces regulations emphasizing: Packaging Manufacturers, Retesters and Reconditioners Multimodal shippers of hazmat -4-

5 Responsibilities (cont d) Modal administrations (FAA, FMCSA, and FRA) enforce the HMR respective to their mode U.S. Coast Guard (Department of Homeland Security) enforces the HMR respective to maritime operations -5-

6 Common Problems Found During Inspections Failure to maintain training records Failure to train hazmat employees Packages not properly marked and labeled Incorrect shipping papers Failure to register with PHMSA Lack of a Security Plan -6-

34 Why Placard? Hazard Communication Response Mitigation Regulatory Requirement

35 Placarding Part 172, Subpart F Each person who offers or transports hazardous materials must comply with the placarding requirements

36 Placarding Requirements Placarding requirements do not apply to: Small quantities of certain hazard classes Limited quantities Infectious substances Other regulated material (ORM-D) Combustible liquids in non-bulk packagings Materials prepared in accordance with (b)

37 General Placarding Requirements Placard a container or vehicle: on each side and each end for any quantity of hazardous material Some exceptions exist based on: the hazard and quantity present

38 Table 2 Exceptions Less than 454 kg (1,001 lbs.) aggregate gross weight may be placarded, but is not required (c)

39 Exceptions: Class 9 Not required to be placarded when shipped domestically Note: 3257 Bulk shipments must still be marked with the UN number (f)(9)

40 Exceptions Division 6.1 Domestic shipments: Text may be modified for PGIII toxic material A poison placard is not required on a transport vehicle or freight container required to display a Poison Inhalation Hazard or Poison Gas placard (F)(8),(10),(11)

41 Materials of Trades Where you are self employed or work for a large company you may carrying a Hazardous Material as part of your job. Certain hazardous materials transported in small quantities as part of a business are subject to less regulations, because of the limited hazard they pose. These materials are know as Materials of Trade.

42 What are Materials of Trade and What Regulations Apply? To protect the health and safety of the motor vehicle operator passengers, such as insect repellant or a fire extinguisher To support the operation or maintenance or a motor vehicle (including its auxiliary equipment), such as a spare battery or gasoline To directly support a principal business of a private motor carrier that is other than transportation by motor vehicle example, landscaping, pest control, painting, plumbing or welding services.

43 MOT s 49 CFR section include General Knowledge of MOTs regulations Quantity limitations Packaging requirements Marking and Labeling requirements

44 MOTs Regulations do not require Shipping Papers Emergency response information Placarding Formal Training or retention of training records

45 What Quantity Limits Apply for MOTs? No more than a combined gross weight of 440 lbs (200 kg) can be transported on any one vehicle. Size limits for individual packages are: Packaging Group I, the maximum amount in one package is 1 lb (0.5 kg) Packaging Group II or III, other than Division 4.3, or is a consumer commodity (ORM-D) each package 66lbs (30kg) for solids or 8 gals (30L) for liquids. Each Cylinder containing a gas (Division 2.1 or 2.2) may not weigh more than 220 lbs (100 kg) A diluted mixture of a Class 9 material (not exceeding 2%) may be transported in a tank up to 400 gals (1500 L)
